Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
There is no crying in Star Trek!
Well produced overall, this series is beautifully designed and enjoys the benefit of modern special effects. I would love to complain about the romance, and the human/family stories, but I suppose these were intentional changes to appeal to somewhat different markets. People do love daytime dramas. More importantly, what's with all the crying? It's not just specifically the crying, but all of the emotional dumping that goes with it. Originally, I think of Star Trek as all about adventure, exploration, the thirst for knowledge, voyaging into an infinite unknown universe. Not boo hoo my parents didn't love me enough. Overall I enjoyed the series, just feel a little deceived by the Star Trek name up front. Maybe they could call it Star "Journey of Personal Emotional Development"?

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)
Will Ferrell does it again
I wasn't expecting much from this film and the first half hour I nearly turned it off but we stuck it out and I'm glad we did. This movie there is nothing particularly innovative or groundbreaking here but the usual Will Ferrell antics still make me laugh. The demeaning portrayal of the Americans was hysterical. Silly, unrefined, no fascinating plot line, predictable, but charming, folksy, and funny. Worth a watch if you like goofy comedies.
Those on the Front Lines of Cancer (2019)
Really fascinating update on cancer and modern medicine
Highly informative doc on cancer and the stunning tech that has been developed to fight it. If this is a subject of interest for you, see this film.
